Best Answer

For airgun events precharged .177 cal. pistols and rifles are used. In metallic cartridge events, .22 short & long rifle are most predominantly used. There are also a few pistol events using .32auto wad-cutter. For trap and skeet events, (shotgun) 2 3/4" 12 gauge w/ size 8 lead shot. If you ever visit the fair city of Phoenix, AZ we have Olympic ranges at Phoenix Rod & Gun Club. Cap'n Rob
